Ushers needed for the 10:30 service – There is a pressing need for ushers to serve at our 10:30 a.m. service. This is an important and rewarding way to serve the church. Anyone can do it. Men and women welcome. Contact Don Britton at 831-455-5411 or bestpropcv@aol.com.

Needed: Lay Eucharistic ministers – We have a number of parishioners who cannot attend Sunday services yet still want to receive Holy Communion once in a while. We need licensed people who can make home visits and administer the sacraments. We can arrange the appropriate training. If you are interested, please call the office at 831-624-3883 or call Claudia: 831-373-5069.

Volunteers for the parish office front desk: We are seeking volunteers to greet visitors coming to our office, answer phones, and help with administrative tasks in the parish office. Two time slots are available: Monday or Tuesday 9 a.m. to noon. Help us present a friendly face and voice to our community. If you can help contact Ray Krise in the office at 831- 624-3883, ext. 14 or ray.krise@allsaintscarmel.org.

Have a favorite hymn? We want to know what your favorite hymns are. Write down the hymn number of your choice and give it to the usher as you leave. We are incorporating your hymns into the service each Sunday.
